(a) All new rules shall be determined by the city and shall be promulgated from the Department of Human Resources.
(b) When existing rules are changed or new rules are established, they shall be posted prominently on all bulletin boards for a period of twenty (20) consecutive work days before becoming effective.
The City shall furnish each employee in the affected operation with a copy of all newly established sets of existing work rules within ten (10) days after they become effective. New employees shall be provided with a copy of the rules at the time of hire.
(c) Notwithstanding the work rules that are currently in existence, after the effective date of this agreement, no work rule will contain any provision relating to minimum manning requirements or mandatory filling of positions by overtime where no work exists for those positions. It is the inherent right of the City of Toledo to determine the numbers and levels of the work force within the operations of the various plants within the City.
(d) The Union shall have the right to grieve the reasonableness of the work rule. In this regard, the matter shall be submitted for resolution to the Director of Human Resources level, and if not resolved, the reasonableness of said rule(s) may then be challenged through binding expedited arbitration following American Arbitration Association expedited rules. No new work rule will be implemented until the decision of the arbitrator has been rendered.
(e) All rules shall be uniformly applied and uniformly enforced.
